Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One of those who claim to be scholars wrote an article asking why the committee warns about prayer and closing the shops, even though the time for prayer is extended, and Gabriel (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
He extended the time for the congregation, and he extended it for the one who prays alone. As for the one who is bound by the congregation[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9], do you say it is extended? [An-Nur 24:37] Do you say the congregation is obligatory? Then you must go and pray. What business is it for the people of desires, the ignorant, and the discouragers? Yes.

when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah
إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِneither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah and performance of prayer and giving of zakah
تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ
